Warto zwrocic uwage, ze za przedsiewziecie zabieraja sie uniwersytety, a
nie komercyjni dostawcy, ktorzy z tych uniwersytetow wyrosli.

* 34 UNIVERSITIES AGREE TO SET UP ANOTHER INTERNET
A group of 34 U.S. universities agreed earlier this month to create a new
national network for higher education, to be called Internet II, which will
offer higher speeds and more reliable service than the current Internet,
reports Lawrence M. Fisher in the 7 October New York Times. The story,
originally reported in the Chronicle of Higher Education, explains that the
new network is intended to deliver the vastly higher speeds needed for
simultaneous voice, video and data. Internet II would give researchers the
bandwidth they need to enable distance learning, digital libraries, and
online collaborative research.
The research universities have agreed to establish and finance a new
organization, with membership fees to help create the network. They also
hope to get financing from telecommunications and computer companies, as
well as the Federal Government. Computer scientists from Pennsylvania State
University, Stanford University, and the universities of California,
Chicago, Michigan, and North Carolina will play leading roles in the
network's development.
